- Sydren appears in The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes episode "Welcome to the Kree Empire", voiced by Troy Baker. He is seen as a slave of the Kree Empire where Kalum Lo uses him to access the controls of Kang the Conqueror's ship Damocles (which has been converted into S.W.O.R.D.'s base) by typing in various codes until the one he enters is accepted. After Abigail Brand defeats the Kree on Damocles' bridge, Abigail frees Sydren in exchange that he sides with S.W.O.R.D. which he does. He helps Abigail Brand and the S.W.O.R.D. Agents compromise the Kree ship. In the episode "Secret Invasion", Sydren detects a bomb that the Skrull posing as Henry Peter Gyrich placed on Damocles and ordered everyone to evacuate. Following the Skrulls' defeat, Iron Man gave the data of his Skrull-detecting equipment to Sydren so that he can replicate it for S.H.I.E.L.D. and S.W.O.R.D. to use when it comes to hunting down the remaining Skrulls on Earth.
